What's new in our world

It's the fifth weekend of the year and our first weekend without an antique show to host in 2018. We hit the ground running in January, with our debut show in Bryan, Texas, followed by consecutive weekend events in New Braunfels, Texas, and Bossier City, Louisiana. Then, back home to Colorado to host our gigantic "Indoor Garage Sale" in Colorado Springs. The Winter Antique Show Season is definitely our busiest time of the year. I have to admit it's nice to finally have a weekend free before we head out to start the next leg of events in New Orleans & Tulsa. I've found if I don't have a weekend break in between the shows every so often, I start to feel like my head is spinning. Were our minds designed to constantly have a large variety of human interactions? I think not. It can become overwhelming, after a certain period of time, to engage in conversations with so many different people and I confess I do find myself seeking refuge occasionally from those who would thoughtfully propose novel ideas I have heard countless times before. I have a certain admiration, and simultaneous sympathy for actors and politicians who successful endure the constant scrutiny of the public eye. I'm not sure how they are able to maintain their sanity, carrying the burden of fame along with the imminent expectation to remain genuinely fresh, authentic and sincere in their response to every inquiry and critique set before them. Was there a class on this skill that I missed somewhere?The odd thing is, if I take too much time off, I actually start to miss all these interactions and begin feeling very anxious for the next event to start. I become anxious to be put in "the game" again. The antique show circuit is like extended family gatherings in a lot of ways.... I'll let you fill in the blanks on that observation!
